Dick Magruder

 * ... that Dick Magruder served in the Oregon House of Representatives from 1971 until he was killed in a farm accident in 1978, at the age of 31?
 * ALT1:... that Dick Magruder was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives at the age of 23 and came within one vote of being elected speaker before he was killed in a farm accident at the age of 31?
 * Reviewed: Atopodentatus
 * Comment: On-line Register-Guard article (ref #32) reports Magruder’s death. This source covers proposed hook.  I think ALT1 is a more interesting hook, but facts come from several sources including Oregonian articles (1 May 77 & 20 Jun 78) that require subscription fee to access on-line.  Therefore, some aspects of ALT1 hook must be taken on good faith unless you have subscription to Oregonian archives.
